if i run HIGH 11...like REALLY high 11's...what saftey parts will i need to get?

from my understanding:
a 5 point roll bar
a 5 point harness
a helment
a scatter sheild

is there anything else?

and speaking of helments....what should i look for whne i am purchasing one? I don't want to toss down a HUGE load on one...but i want a legal one.

 

11.99 quicker=
6 point cage
firejacket
scatter shield
of course a helmet
and btw what is a 5 point cage? and it is not necc for a 5 pt harness

 

as for the helmet, DOT approved or snell cert

isn't a 5 point rollbar required and good for 11.99-10.00.

 

a six point is required. for convertibles its different

 

It depends on the the track. There are plenty of Cobras and Z06's with minor mods running 11's and only having a helmet.

 

the rules only call for a 5 point BAR

a cage is only needed for 10.99 or 135 mph +

 

helmet. no n. helmet

what the **** did you just say?!?!?

 

nothing rob. just correcting your spelling. now give me helment (refer to space ***** for official definition)

 

oh

i suck

manhugs casey

 

min is 5pt but most use 6pt. and yes a 5pt harness is needed, but they willprob let it pass without the crotch belt. they passed me already without it

exactly.

 

safety...my favorite subject (and the one I am sorting out right now) Simpson = great quality... I am using there 5 point harnesses, helmet, jacket, and anything else I will need safety wise...Ya there a little bit more expensive than the rest of the companys but there the best IMO

 

is there a 6pt aval that has removable front bars? or is atleast easily streetable? those front bars make it a PITA to get in and out....my street car really is a DAILY driven STREET car, none of this, race only trailered to the track "street" car crap

 

that's why i'm asking as well...my car is my ONLY car for right now...and if i do hit 11's...i'm gonan get booted if i don't have the gear....

my sis's b/f is a cup car chassis builder...so i guess my cage is taken care of... probally just a 6 point since i don't want to make it hard on anyone else getting in my car

i'm looking into a crow 5 point harness...possibly 2 of them...

i need a helmet...anyone have any suggestions for a CHEAP/LEGAL helmet....

and i think i cna get a scatter sheild for pretty cheap

and i DO need a firejacket??? or not???

 

depending on how its built , they arent as bad as you think. but yes you can have someone make the sides into swing outs if you want them to.

we are in the same exact boat ...its my only car, and gettin into my car with a bar in the way isnt too bad if its just for me, but for my pasenger is a whole nother story...

do a google on helmets, i see the bieffe and bell helmets (auto racing specific) for around 200-300, which isnt too bad. i have the bieffe predator, pretty nice, i like it.

scatter shield, i got the GE one from robearracing, also check with camp1320.com they have cheapass prices.

and yes u need a fire jacket

check out the rule book if u havnt already

i'm gonna get my car done....and go run a time or two and see if they boot me...if they do..i guess it's saftey parts time

 

GFORCE Racing Gear is where you wanna shop. lol.
I got my snell 2000 helmet new for $100 from them.
i got my whole fire suit from them for like $100
i got shoes for like $60
i got 5pt camlocks for $100 a piece


you cant beat their prices for the quality you get

 

rob.. if you get a 6pt then both front seats need 5pt harnesses and race seats or seatback braces.. i dont think that stuff is required for drag racing, but it needs to be ther imo. i have seen some crazy **** at the track (the kind that requires you to turn) when cars back into walls w/o braces.

check out http://www.bellhelmets.com they usually have some helmets on specail for a good price.

 

maybe a newb question, but what's a scatter shield, and what does it do?

 

its surrounds the bellhousing and prevents the flywheel and **** from getting out of the housing and into the car.

i'll probally get 2, but i reallllly doubt i'll worry with the braces...my seat will be a race seat more than likely

 

You will also need an SFI approved harmonic balancer according to the rule book. I know of guys not running one and getting away with it though. It will depend on the person teching you car.
